Lynn Hamilton (born April 25, 1930) is an American former actress. Making her acting debut in 1959 with a role in John Cassavetes' Shadows, Hamilton is perhaps best known for her role as Donna Harris; Fred's girlfriend later turned fiance on the sitcom Sanford and Son which originally aired from 1972 until 1977.

Biography

Hamilton was born in Mississippi to a mother named Nancy[1] and later moved to Chicago Heights, Illinois when she was four years old.[2] She attended Bloom High School.[1][3] She studied acting at Goodman Theatre.[4] She began her career in community theatre in Chicago before making her debut on Broadway in the play Only in America in 1959.[5] She appeared in three other Broadway plays, many Off-Broadway plays and spent three years with the New York Shakespeare Festival.[4]

From 1972 to 1977, Hamilton starred as Fred Sanford's girlfriend and later turned fiancee Donna Harris on the television sitcom Sanford and Son. Donna was a nurse and sometimes took care of Fred.[6][7] There are many internet claims that she was the younger sister of actress, LaWanda Page, who portrayed Esther Anderson on Sanford and Son, confirmed only via LaWanda Page's obituary in the Los Angeles Times.[8] In addition to Hamilton's work on Sanford and Son, she also had a recurring role as "Verdie" on The Waltons,[6] and made numerous appearances in television sitcoms, soap operas and miniseries such as Good Times, 227, Dangerous Women, Generations, Port Charles, The Golden Girls, Gunsmoke, and The Next Generations. Hamilton also had a recurring role as Judge Fulton on The Practice.
